Quiquiriqui Espadin Mezcal

45% ABV. Espadín is Quiquiriqui’s classic, highly mixable house-style Mezcal. It’s beautifully crafted in Santiago Matatlán by Carlos Méndez. Méndez comes from prime Mezcal stock; his family has made the drink for six generations, and that experience shows in a bold and complex spirit with intense roasted agave flavours.
It has a super-smooth, mouth-filling palate with that juicy, peppery finish characteristic of Matatlán-grown Espadín. Expect cocoa butter, toffee apple and citrus flavours with a briny freshness. With an ABV of 45%, it’s got more succulence and smoky intensity than most house-pour Mezcals out there (which hover closer to 40%). And, while it has the purity and balance to be sipped neat, this Mezcal’s depth cements its role as a killer base for mixed drinks.
